SeeByte awarded funding for phase two of AAOSN

Following the successful completion of the initial phase, SeeByte, ASV and the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom have been awarded funding to carry out phase two of the Adaptive Autonomous Ocean Sampling Networks (AAOSN) SBRI call.

The aim of the project is to reduce the complexity and frequency of operator input when supervising large fleets of autonomous systems from the shore.

Extending the tagged fish work carried out in phase one, this second phase will seek to design autonomous behaviours to address five scenarios including oil spill, passive acoustic monitoring (PAM), seabed mapping, fish tracking and tidal mixing.

The behaviours will integrate sensor data and interpretation methods to enable adaptive, multi-vehicle missions using combinations of ASV, AUV and Glider assets.
